About me: LA born, I've lived in upstate NY, AZ, all over PA, a couple of places in mid-NJ, several places in Northern VA, and am now in PG County MD. I'm Irish, French-Canadian, Russian, and Swiss (the latter via my mom's adoption).
I have a strange fascination with songwriters.
I have 2 fabulous stepsons - Josh & AJ. I am friends with 66% of my ex's, including my ex-husband and Josh's mom.
I'm a computer geek and a seminarian. But don't go getting all judgmental on me already. I'm a follower of the message of Jesus - love one another - not some Falwell, Robertson, Bush, Coulter false message.
I do NOT believe in the prosperity gospel. I went to hear Bishop T.D. Jakes preach and he told the crowded faithful they would only get blessings from God if they wrote him a check for $723. THIS IS NOT BIBLICAL, PEOPLE. WAKE UP!
I do NOT believe babies are sinful.
I dream of pastoring a non-denominational, non-segregated church where all feel God's love, welcome, and promise of a new heaven. This does NOT mean I believe "anything goes," okay?
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus, Shirley Jones, maybe you, Mel White, Wayne Besen

Hi, Thanks for the add, I am a French politician who lives with HIV/AIDS. I was the first French politician – and also the only one so far – to acknowledge publicly my seropositivity, which was discovered in 1987. In France, I am the chairman of a society with 13.000 French politicians of all parties (ELCS, soon on myspace). I support UNITAID. One of our fight is to obtain that USA change their acts/laws which forbid people living with HIV/AIDS to enter in your country. I know all you do against AIDS and we need you for this important fight against discriminations. I have just created my "myspace" to promote this international fight and I need you to mobilise in USA! Best wishes. Jean-Luc Romero
